The annual meeting of the national division of the Sons of Temperance calls attention to the growth of the order. The first division Of this order was organized at New York in 1942 by little band of sixteen men. During the forty-fve years of it's organization 5000 900 men and women have joined the order. Women were not admitted till 1854. This is the season for snake stories. John s. Spoford writes to the Syracuse Standard
 an account of an accomplished rattlesnake which used to belong to his father. "I re-
 menber," says MT. Spoford, fas if it were yesterday, how one Monday morning the clothesline fell into the fire and mother fell very provoked at not having anything to dry
 her washing on. We'll, our old snake went and stretched himself out between the boughs
 of two apple trees where mother always tied her clothesline to, and she got along with him frst-class."

Some of the pensioners of this generous country fare pretty well if they can live long enough to see their claims go through the pension office. Joseph Garrison of Harley, Idaho, is a case in point. He claimed back pension since 1349. By temporarily waiving a heavier claim for entire disability resulting from wound on the head, inflicted by 8 boulder thrown from the roof of a house at the storming of the city of Mexico, he has been allowed $12 per month, with per cent. interest per annum, since 184S, period of thirty-nine years. Having served in the war of the rebellion as lieutenant in the Second California cavalry, he expects to get quite an additional sum. The allowance to him so far will secure him over $10,000, and when his other claims for increased pension are adjudicated he expects to receive $15,O0 to $20, 900 more.
